This place has an amazing view of the Chao Phraya river and of the city, especially during the night. It's also very quiet and safe.
As mentioned already in the profile page, if you go to Bangkok to enjoy a party/night-life atmosphere, this place might not suit you. In contrast, if you want to experience an authentic Thai life, I would highly recommend it!
Dirk (the host) also gave us many useful tips about places to go, how to travel, etc... We really like the Thai morning market and the Princess Terrace restaurant which close to his place and along the Chao Phraya river.
